Yes, I have a gig-e switch :) I think there may be an interoperability problem with the card and switch I'm using -- even at 100Mb it isn't entirely reliable whereas other devices are. In a 100Mb switch it works fine. Next step is to put e100 and e1000 cards in and test those on the gig-e switch. I'll also try dropping back to the release on the Asus site, though it does look like it's just an earlier release of the same driver as the Marvell one, rather than a different codebase altogether.
